Stad Bergen verdedigd door Nederlandse vloot tegen Engelse aanval 1676

This 1676 etching by Coenraet Decker, titled "Stad Bergen verdedigd door Nederlandse vloot tegen Engelse aanval" (The City of Bergen Defended by the Dutch Fleet against an English Attack), depicts the city of Bergen in Norway as a fleet of Dutch ships engage in battle with an English fleet. Decker was a Dutch artist who specialized in topographical views and battle scenes. The print, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, uses linear perspective to create a panoramic view of Bergen, highlighting its strategic location, its defensive fortifications, and the importance of maritime warfare in 17th-century Europe.
